Solution

The correct option is C glycosuria
The presence of excessive glucose in blood is called glycosuria. It is common symptom observed in diabetic patients. The pancreas in patients does not produce sufficient amount of insulin. Insulin hormone is responsible for absorption of glucose into the body. Due to lack of insulin, glucose is not absorbed by the body and leaves the body through urine.
